NZThe NS EVO2.. The NS EVO2... Do you know Simrad wilfully and knowingly continued to sell these units well after they started receiving complaints about the touch screen? No, neither did we until the fault appeared after the warranty period expired. Their offer when we did a 'please explain' was a " remanufactured" unit (2nd hand rebuilt) with no warranty and half price. Found proof that they knew the screens fail at leased a year before we bought ours. How can you trust an organisation that considers that acceptable business practice? The transducer also has started to deliminate! Doesnt end there. The IS20 anemometer display could never be calibrated with the EVO2. Wind direction always off. Simrad? NEVER AGAIN.

GBPurchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which… Purchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which had a 2 year warantee and it lasted 7 hours then refused to power up. After several weeks, Simrad replaced this unit with a new Go9 in time for the 2023 new england boating season. This unit failed after 15 hours - same problem, refused to power up. They are now sending me a 3rd Go9 with a reminder my warrentee expires in June of 2024. About the time I will probably launch the boat. My other boat has a 3 year old Furuno at the upper helm and a 15 year old Garmin at the lower helm both still working perfectly. It doesn't seem Simrad builds with simular quality these days. Initial customer service seems to be based offshore as well.

GBNo GO XSE.... Got a replacement cover for a GO XSE. It was the most confusing and confounded experience you will ever endure. Nothing is straight forward. They don't explain you have to know screen size and mounting before selecting the cover. Much like other reviews it was not a good experience. The cover I got is a sloppy fit but most lively because it is not exactly correct. Seems to me when you sell a product the SPECIFIC manual should come with it not some catch all booklet. For a name like Simrad I think they can do better....

GBDelivered on time Delivered on time Well packed - everything included Specifications were accurate - it fit perfectly in the designated space on my boat Simple to install My application is a dedicated chart plotter so I did not install the transducer Gave it 4-stars because I have not water tested it yet So far, so good

GBFOUR HOURS ON HOLD AND STILL NO ANSWERS! After spending over FOUR HOURS on hold with Simrad Tech Support, I still haven't been able to reach a warm body with any knowledge about how to resolve a simple issue with my brand new NSX 9. I have rarely witnessed worse customer service from a company with which I spent thousands of dollars. If you DO decide to buy a Simrad unit for your boat, DO NOT consider an NSX model. Evidently almost nobody in the company knows anything about them and they are anything but user friendly.
